The Barack Obama campaign announced Friday that it will open a campaign headquarters in Butte, bringing the total number of offices across the state to eight.
The campaign office, located at 128 West Granite Street, will serve as a base for outreach in southwestern Montana.
State Campaign Director Gabe Cohen says a grand office opening will take place Saturday at 7 p.m.
"As Montana's critical June 3rd primary gets closer, we are excited to open a headquarters for those supporters and to continue outreach into Butte America and the surrounding counties."
Obama picked up the backing of nine superdelegates, and is closing in on the lead for Democratic National Convention superdelegates. The developments leave Hillary Clinton with 271.5 superdelegates, to 271 for Obama.
Senator Barack Obama's campaign has announced that they are opening a campaign headquarters in Butte.
A press release states that the office "will serve as a base for outreach southwestern Montana" and a grand opening is set to take place on Saturday, May 10th at 7:00 p.m.
"When Senator Obama visited Butte last month we were overwhelmed by the positive response," said State Director Gabe Cohen. "As Montana's critical June 3 primary gets closer, we are excited to open a headquarters for those supporters and to continue outreach into Butte America and the surrounding counties."
The addition of the Butte office means that the Obama for America campaign will soon have eight offices open in Montana.
